. I read an article that included this book as an example of GoodRead's reviews almost tanking it before it was even published. I decided to try it myself even though I suspect it isn't one of my usual genre.

Started Spare
. I am just voyeuristic enough to be drawn to a good royal tell-all.Unfortunately like the several recent books I've gotten from the downloadable library, I will likely not be able to finish in the two weeks and then will have to sit on a lengthy waitlist before I can get back to it. These are the only times I wish for a longer commute.
